Management Consultant at Accenture

Has significantly improved document-driven workflows and reduced processing time across finance and HR functions

Automation Anywhere has evolved significantly and upgraded itself to provide agentic AI and AI-based automation solutions for document automation. The product has matured considerably over time. We can create workflows that can call an API. We can include prompts in particular workflows for ChatGPT-related functions, connecting to an LLM and RAG to perform tasks. For document automation, modern features are available to train documents, ensuring high accuracy and repeatability over time. The system is very easy to use. I recently completed a course in document automation, typically designed for people involved in coding and technical aspects. Though I understand coding comprehensively, I don't do actual coding. The course was very accessible. Currently, extensive coding isn't necessary due to the hybrid model incorporating GenAI aspects, low-code, no-code capabilities, APIs, and numerous pre-built objects in Automation Anywhere. The features include GenAI-driven prompting methods and workflow creation capabilities. In these workflows, we can create decision boxes and call APIs without coding. We simply pull objects, drop them, connect them, and add minimal coding when needed. The most crucial aspect isn't coding but rather sizing the automation and fleshing out the details. Automation Co-pilot takes notes and performs automated analysis. It can extract details from videos, summarize conversations, and provide detailed information. During calls, it identifies instructions and performs tasks such as preparing reports and reconciliation. Automation Anywhere can also connect with Microsoft Co-pilot. Through Co-pilot, real-time operations can be executed, allowing direct interaction between vendors and automation through this component.

Using Python in Robocorp enhances performance

In terms of licenses, there is a return on investment in that area. Other products are charged based on the licenses. However, Robocorp is not doing it that way. They are charging based on a run basis. Therefore, in that way, the company might benefit in terms of license costs and the return on investment, considering what they are putting in and what they are getting out of it.

RPA Technical Solution Lead at Infomentum

Helps automate processes but needs to offer different licensing models to users

Right now, I am not working on process mining at the minute. Before I switched to the company, I worked extremely closely with the process mining tool from UiPath, SAP BTP, and the process mining that they had created. I am working with MuleSoft Automation and Anypoint. We are not doing any sort of process mining at the minute, but in my company, because MuleSoft is one of the only RPA tools that we are looking at, we have another application called Appian that we are trying to explore now. Appian has process mining capability, which is why we thought we would look at it along with AI capabilities.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The recording feature accelerates the timeline of your implementation."

"Object cloning with an option to enter wildcard selection was very useful when working in a web application that generated dynamic HTML content."

"Before Automation Anywhere, the insurance companies used to transfer data manually from one app to another, but after introducing them to automation the speed and accuracy have been outstanding."

"In our fund management and fund reconciliation process, we had a lot of headcount. Automation has significantly reduced our FTE count, investing that IT personnel into other work. Also, the quality of the work has slightly improved."

"Automation Anywhere can be considered as one of the most stable RPA tools in the industry, according to the perspective of the limited amount of tools that I've used."

"As we were closing our fiscal year, we had this huge backlog that we needed to clean up. The business was preparing to hire 12 people to do that, and even though they were not sure they could handle it, we built the process to extract and do the entire process just in two weeks. We were able with a single person to clean the entire backlog, which gave us huge benefits."

"Before switching to the cloud version of Automation Anywhere, I worked with v10 and v10, so I appreciate the core functionality and the fact that it's a low-code solution. That is one of the key elements that differentiates Automation Anywhere from other platforms and one of the reasons we have been able to achieve success."

"The whole suite of RPA modules that they have is very good. They have three environments in which you can do your automation. You have development, staging, and production environments. These are run by licenses as well, which is very good. There are a lot of ways of automating processes with this application."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"I have worked with UiPath and Automation Anywhere previously. Robocorp offers an improved development style and support as well as flexibility of its tools. You can easily develop custom libraries in Robocorp."

"The product has a valuable business process automation feature."

"I like the fact that it's very fast. The processing speed is good, and that's what matters to me. I also like that we don't have to bother with the infrastructure setup. We don't have to care about the status of the data set, as I believe the local group will provide it. We don't care about the licensing model. We only have to care about how long we are using it."

"The process execution and all features are very good."

"Time complexity is reduced and the execution speed is much higher."

"It supports Python runtime because of that, runtime also improves."

"The solution is based on Python which makes it very valuable."

"It offers high scalability and enables automation in ways that haven't been possible before."

More Robocorp pros

"The most valuable feature of SAP Contextor is that everyone is in one place in the program that I need."

"Contextor is a good solution for a Citrix environment. It's the first with this tool. Other tools provide the same functionality, but not with the Citrix environment."

"Contextor is a good solution for a Citrix environment."

"Scalability is fine. It is pretty nice."

"The standout features of SAP Intelligent RPA are its flexibility and integration capabilities."

"The initial setup of SAP Contextor is easy."

"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."

"Most of the details are already in the help portal and SAP notes are available. It is well documented as part of the product support."

More SAP Intelligent RPA pros

Cons

"Automation Anywhere risks falling behind by focusing solely on Robotic Process Automation when competitors offer more versatile and adaptable solutions that integrate AI for a more intelligent automation experience."

"There can be some options to connect to the database directly where we should be able to add some data."

"Because we are very new to our process, so we're still sort of working through it."

"You could improve the tools for reading CSV/Excel, also providing wizards or detailed guides, otherwise, it is quite complex to use them, especially at the beginning."

"I would like the ability to extract the code. You can go line by line, then open up each line of code and dig into the details, but it would be nice to extract all of the lines of code and all of the details into a document so we could read through everything. Right now, there is no way to really consume all of the code at once, except line by line, which can be fairly time consuming if we don't really know what we are looking for."

"IQ Bot is useful but the price is not friendly."

"Had we had access to the RPA bots in advance, we would have practiced before fully implementing."

"The biggest challenge that I have with Automation Anywhere is the pace of upgrades that they do. We are not an IT company, we are a mining company. We are very conservative in doing our upgrades and moving from one platform to another. Upgrades are one of the challenges we are having with Automation Anywhere."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"We use the latest version of the process studio and it takes up a lot of CPU storage. In our case, this has been up to 14 GB of storage."

"There are certain libraries in Python, such as those dealing with PDF automation and word files, that require the presence of certain external dependencies in the environment to be successfully used."

"They should fully develop Robocorp Studio because it would attract a lot of people to the Robocorp platform."

"An additional feature I'm looking for in Robocorp is SAP automation."

"The platform's documentation could be better."

"The standard libraries in Robocorp should be more advanced."

"I don't like the complexity of deployment."

"Robocorp is still in development, so most of the keywords are a bit confusing. I have to alter lots of automation steps between processing and development. However, Selenium is due for an update soon, and Robcorp is addressing some of the limitations caused by the previous Selenium version."

More Robocorp cons

"I found that the SAP scripting of a program is easier than SAP Contextor."

"One way SAP Intelligent RPA could improve is by integrating built-in DI services for document processing."

"There should be more of an error, like a proper error feature, in future releases. Sometimes, we don't understand why that automation is not learning what, like, where it is stuck, or what is the reason like, or what is the criteria we are missing to add. So a proper error message would be helpful."

"For potential features or improvements, one aspect I would suggest enhancing is the flexibility of the extraction process."

"I would like to see a better capacity for unstructured data, for example, PDF, or text within images."

"SAP Contextor could improve by automating some processes."

"The tool's licensing has been kind of a challenge...At the moment, the tool does not offer different licensing models to users."

"The initial setup is of medium complexity. It is neither too hard nor too simple. You need some background in SAP and an understanding of it."

More SAP Intelligent RPA cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our company is investing a lot of money in Automation Anywhere. They have saved money wherever humans are working. They invest a lot of money in FTEs and other logistics, so the money saving is very pretty good with Automation Anywhere. While I don't know the exact figure, the tool is saving us millions of dollars as well as saving about 40,000 hours in the last year."

"It's an ideal pricing model to customize the components based on everyone's needs."

"In terms of monetary savings, we automated a bot in three days that has saved us $30,000 in costs."

"Automation Anywhere's pricing falls within the mid-range, but the long-term benefits outweigh the initial investment."

"My understanding is that the license cost of Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than UiPath and Blue Prism."

"On average, a bot runner in Automation Anywhere can cost $5,000, while in Microsoft Power Automate, you can get most of the same functionality for $100."

"They sell it by license, but if they could charge by case or by interaction, that might be better. Right now, it's expensive when you want to scale or use them for simple processes."

"They give us a good deal on the licensing because we bundle and customize things. If you ask to get a bulk business deal, you will receive more benefit. If you take other products from the suite, like IQ Bot, you can also receive a deal on the licensing."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"In terms of licenses, there is a return on investment in that area."

"You don't have to pay for the license. You have to pay for the time you use it."

"Robocorp is much better in terms of pricing compared to UiPath."

"It's a cost-effective solution."

"The price is cheaper than other competitors. I would rate the cost as one out of five."

"The product has good pricing."

"The pricing is fine."

"The solution is a very affordable price."

"The initial cost might seem higher, but over time, with continued use over five or ten years, the cost tends to decrease, making it a more economical choice."

"It all comes with a bundle right now. Having advanced features, it is competitively priced."

"This is not a tool or software with a license as others are. The SaaS model is based on the usage of the tool."

"The pricing is not that expensive. It is manageable."
